DAYTONA BEACH - Bethune-Cookman once again suffered a cold shooting performance, shooting just 30% from the field, as they fell to Stony Brook 61-54. The loss dropped them to 0-2 in the Sunshine Slam as they finish fourth in the Ocean Bracket.


1st Half
The Wildcats (2-5) and Sea Wolves (5-2) got into a slug fest in the first half, as neither team could get into any rhythm offensively. Both teams' shooting percentages dipped to 20% and both teams were sloppy with the basketball.

Stony Brook tied the game at 42 off a dunk by Quin Gorman. They would take the lead with 4:39 off another make from Gorman as B-CU's shooting struggles continued.
